It makes me feel bitter each time it begins

[lizblackdog]

Arrgh. Fucking Spring. It's now verging on being too hot to wear my leather jacket to take the dogs to the park, which means I'll shortly have nowhere convenient to keep poo bags, toys, treats, spare leash, keys and tuggy. It's also getting too hot for Spike to exercise in comfort and safety during the day, which means either getting up very early or staying up very late to take him out to play ball. I was just working my sleep pattern back round to something a bit more convenient for interacting with the rest of society, too; but I think it's time to go back to being nocturnal.

It's also time to upload my bitching-about-warm-weather icons, and make my yearly request to my friends list - please, please, if you love me, or even like me just a little, don't make comments along the lines of "I don't know what you're complaining about! You don't know what heat is! Why, over here where I live the asphalt is boiling, the birds are laying ready-fried eggs and my cans of Coke explode if I don't keep them packed in dry ice!" I have friends in Florida, Australia, Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, New Mexico, California and Texas - I KNOW all those places are hotter than it is here. That doesn't make it magically not too hot for me. It just makes me want to stab people.

In return, I'll try and keep the whining to a minimum. I'll even make a "bitching about the heat" filter if you want me to; but I'm not going to be able to keep completely silent. I hate it so fucking much.

You lose any plastic cards last weekend? I found a Virgin mobile Top-up and Nectar card in my car.

I'd be happy with a nice in-between - about 70's - year round. The way you feel about heat is how I feel about cold. Summer does get too hot and humid and there are days I'll stay in b/c it's too hot, but I prefer to be outside (assuming one can breath). I hibernate in the winter, I hate it.

Bring on luvly 25 degrees and sun thank you. :P I don't want any rain other than during weekends too this coming summer.

Have you ever considered moving to Nuuk? It won't get scorching there during summer you know. On the other hand it will be day light 24/7 for a couple of months in summer and total darkness around Christmas.

But it won't get too hot. ;)

Hey, I whine about the heat all the time... why do you think I called this icon Too Much Sunlight? ;)

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

it's supposed to be 68f here today. YAY!! of course, it's supposed to snow friday/saturday so it's a cruel joke, but i'll take what i can get.

i don't mind you bitching about the heat if you don't mind me bitching about the cold.

Oh, you and me BOTH. It's not too bad here (yet), but it's getting that way and I fucking know it'll be torture for me and Dae and Viv when it actually does start to heat up. I can already see me only taking them out in the wee hours of the morning or the late hours at night.

I feel your pain and hatred of the heat. We can bitch together, haha.

I may have a solution for this...If you take a square of cloth...cotton duck or canvaas is good, and you can use some other cloth to line it, too, if you wish...just poke holes in a circle around it... or use a grommet thing to make holes neater, and string a cord through it; you can hang it from your belt, or make a longer cord to sling over a shoulder like a backpack to store all the extras in...does that help?

As for me and weather, I can't handle the damp and cold. Every Spring, I suffer because there's so much rain. It cripples me right up.

I'm not saying a word about your discomfort level. I am saying I've already switched my schedule so I can get my mother of a long walk done before mid-morning.

For the record: New England's heat and humidity isn't any nicer than Florida's. Florida's is just more persistent. I now live in North Carolina, where the humidity likes to vacation.

*hugs* hopefully it won't be too bad for you this year.

Wait .... wtf is the weather doing down south? It's still jumper, jacket and scarf weather up here and last week in the Lakes I nearly froze my backside off at several points.

Go with the filter. You just know someone won't be able to resist it at some point.

[hellfire82.livejournal.com]

i'm gonna tell you what i think i said last year... after being there, i completely believe you that it's freaking hot, and you can whine all you want. it's hot here, too, with lots of humidity that just makes it worse, but it's just as hot there. (oh, and i think i mentioned that i always thought you were crazy until i experienced it for myself, and you're not. it IS hot there.)

also, hot weather just blows.

There's a water park here called Wet n' Wild, I'm not sure they still do, but I know they use to stay open year round. We have a lot of British tourests, and in the winter, THE ONLY people at Wet n' Wild are Brits. Floridians will walk by and say "MAN, how do those Brits DO IT? Swimming in this cold." while shivering in their thick winter jackets. I think this should clearly illustrate my thoughts on the matter of bitching about warm weather. From your perception, it probably feels just as hot to you over there as it does for me over here.

Two words... global warming.. ;) *runs*

Bitch about the temperature/weather all you want. You don't have to hide it from me. :D

Luff yew.

Sister, you can always, always preach to me about the heat. I hates it. It's heinous. I need a bitching about the heat icon, methinks... Project for Friday.

[lemmingpie.livejournal.com]

I hear you, I had to ditch my jacket and now I have nowhere but an unreliable hoodie pocket for my leashes, phone, poop bags and you name it all else. Although, when I rushed out in my scrubs after work yesterday, they are quite nice for carrying all that...
